AFRICANA SUBJECT FUNNEL REPORT 2018
Coordinator: Margaret W. Hughes
Submitted to: CATALOGING COMMITTEE, AFRICANA LIBRARIANS COUNCIL
November 30, 2018

Since the last report, 36 new proposals and 3 change proposals were reviewed by funnel participants and submitted to the Library of Congress (LC). The proposals originated with Margaret Hughes (Stanford), Joe Lauer (Michigan State), Chuck Riley (Yale), Laila Salibi-Cripe (Indiana), Shoshanah Seidman (Northwestern), and Marcia Tiede (Northwestern).
NEW & REVISED HEADINGS

EDITORIAL DECISIONS MADE BY LC’s POLICY & STANDARDS DIVISION
PROPOSALS TO BE RESUBMITTED
Sar language
This proposal was made to revise the existing heading Sara language. The proposal did not list a work being cataloged and also failed to disambiguate the proposed heading from other languages called Sar. The required revisions to the NTs of Sara language were not proposed, either. Finally, this revision necessitates a revision to the classification schedules. The proposal may be resubmitted. [October 15, 2018]
PROPOSALS REJECTED
Oluluyia languages; Logooli language
Ethnologue lists Oluluyia as a macrolangauge of the Bantu language, and it appears that this proposal was made only to insert a level of hierarchy; there was no indication that there is a work about the Oluluyia languages being cataloged. The meeting considers the additional level of hierarchy to be unnecessary, considering the lack of a work needing the heading. The proposal for Oluluyia languages was not approved.
Nine additional proposals were made to change the BT Bantu languages on existing headings. That was the only change in the revision proposal for Logooli language, and that proposal was not approved. The other eight proposals included other revisions, and approved changes to those records are indicated on the approved list. [July 16, 2018]
OTHER EDITORIAL DECISIONS MADE BY PSD
Qualifiers in headings for individual Kurd, Arab, and Berber groups
In LCSH, the general policy is to qualify headings for individual ethnic groups by the adjective for the continent, region, or country of the group, followed by the word people (e.g., Aro (African people); Chrau (Vietnamese people)). Practice for Kurds, Arabs, and Berbers has been mixed, however, with some being qualified by ([Arab, Berber, Kurdish] tribe) and others by ([Arab, Berber, Kurdish] people). Going forward, all new headings of this type will be qualified according to the latter formulation.
Apis (Egyptian deity); Seth (Egyptian deity); Sobek (Egyptian deity) – CANCEL HEADINGS
These authority records have been deleted because the subject headings are covered by identical name headings
